“Grabbing a 12-gauge shotgun, he fired at the fleeing teens.”

Dummy. If they are in fact fleeing, they pose no threat of grave bodily harm or death.

The teens were “in retreat” which in Pennsylvania means you are breaking the law by shooting them.

Sadly, the laws in many jurisdictions state that even a robbed homeowner may not fire at a fleeing miscreant.

Of course, most of those criminals are never caught — unless they report to the ER with a load of birdshot in their asses.

If this does go to trial, hope the jury consists of former robbed homeowners.

You have to at least yell "They're coming right for us" to claim self defense.

There's no "fleeing felon" law in PA?

If the kids hadn't been running away, he probably wouldn't have been charged. Still, it seems unfair to charge him.

"Grabbing a 12-gauge shotgun, he fired at the fleeing teens."

It's not self-defense if they're running away.

Of course, the reason they were running away was because he trumped their BB-guns with a shotgun and raised them a dozen pellets of buckshot.

‘Grabbing a 12-gauge shotgun, he fired at the fleeing teens. ‘

If they were fleeing, by definition he wasn’t in ‘fear of death or serious injury’ and as such he’s going to jail, and will most likely lose his home and everything else in the inevitable civil litigation.

Not saying its ‘right’ just noting thats the legal precedent and applicable laws in the year 2007 in America.

According to police, Mr. Iannitelli is being charged with attempted homicide, aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.

According to most people with at least 3 working brain cells, the police in this case should be charged with attempted intelligence, aggravated ineptitude, and reckless stupidity....

So, because they are "fleeing" means they can't point their weapons to the rear and squeeze off a couple of rounds?

This is bs. Anytime I am accosted, or my house invaded, by firearm toting criminals, I'll do my best to insure that they are DEAD firearm toting criminals.

Actually, taking them on the wing is more sporting. I’d hope that would be a mitigating circumstance.

“Grabbing a 12-gauge shotgun, he fired at the fleeing teens.”

There was no reason for that. No sympathy from me for either parties.
